Cartuja Monastery Granada

Looks simple from the outside - and the monastery rooms are, but inside the chapel is just gob-smackingly baroque!It really is quite mind blowing. Unfortunately you couldn't take pics and I'm a good girl!

On searching google I found no pictures that did the interior any justice at all but there was this one of a statue that was quite amazing and we spent some time looking at.

If you go to Granada you should visit. We caught a bus saved us a lot of money against taking the proffered tour. To get to the monastery, you can catch buses 8 or C from the Gran Vía. This is also one of the stops on the City Sightseeing bus route.

Paintist I think you could spend a day in it - it is so over the top that it both repels and attracts it is fascinating. Yes lilitiger both.Every day was like that ~R~ :)Good weather, daily walking/exploring culture fixes, good food and drink, and good company what more could one want?
